The best chicken shawarma I've had in the DMV so far. Located in an unassuming small shopping center, this place gives a hole-in-the-wall hidden gem vibe. I am a flavor fanatic and need things to be flavor packed and generally in the past, I've had many shawarmas lacking seasoning, toppings, or sauces. HOWEVER, the chicken shawarma here is nicely seasoned with plenty of toppings, sauces, and extra toum/garlic sauce on the side. I never get fries, but even their fries are well seasoned and tasty even when dipped in the garlic sauce! Affordable, filling, big portion, quick service, authentic, well seasoned, and good ingredients- what more can you ask? I'm glad I gave this place a try and will definitely come back when in the area! read more

Little gem hidden in Sterling a few mins off of route 28. The place has a few tables but it's more of a grab and go. The menu has a variety of items such as burritos, wraps, and rice platter but the focus of every item is either the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma or falafel. You really can't go wrong with any of their protein options because everything is freshly prepared and offers generous portions. We got the beef wrap which is really a mix of beef and lamb which is exactly what I wanted. It should be noted that the wrap is cut into 7-8 pieces rather than one long wrap is interesting because it makes it harder to eat. Everytbing basically falls apart after the first bite of each piece. I'd recommend getting the full wrap but not cut. It was packed with flavor and fillings so it more than made up for it. Do yourself a favor and get the spicy version. It's not crazy spicy and gives the entree another depth of flavor. I'll definitely be back again to try the other options. read more

The food was great! We ordered through Uber Eats and the food was amazing!! I ordered the lamb kabob and beef kofta combo without the onions and a salad with ranch dressing on the side. My friend ordered the beef Shawarma bowl with rice and tahini sauce. He loved it and ate it all! We also ordered the Chicken Shawarma wrap, which was also very delicious!! We will definitely be ordering from here again!! read more

I was in the area and this place had very good reviews. I found the chicken shawarma wrap very mediocre. They didn't even mention they had an option to add little salads and fixings inside, I read it after I had gotten my food not even on the real menu but on a poster below. The spicy sauce was good and I also dipped in tahini because I didn't like garlic sauce much. There isn't much to say service wise as the food was ready pretty quick. The place to sit is very small maybe 2 tables and bar seating. Would probably not return. read more

Amazing fresh shawarma - chicken quality so fresh, literally authentic shawarma no frills just fresh grilled chicken, garlic sauce, pickle and fries inside. 10/10. The only feedback I have is to use the thin Arab pita that they use in Saudi instead of the bread they used. That would be sooooo perfect. Fast service as well!! read more

Great shawarma place, no frills, clean, timely service and unique take on fries w/garlic dip. They have tender chicken and beef shawarma wraps, bowls which we got and were loved by all in the group. Fries were crisp but soft, thick cut with a flavorful seasoning and the garlic dip was very interesting. We didn't get the falafel wrap but it looked great on someone else's table. The hummus is super smooth maybe on the tahini side and was absolutely great side. The 'pita' is more like a thin tortilla almost like the tortillaland uncooked version, delicious nonetheless but it was surprising not to see a typically thicker pita version. read more

I ordered 24 Shawarmas for a party we had, a dozen beef and a dozen chicken. They came in two round boxes with fries. The order was supposed to be ready by 6 PM, but when I arrived on time, it wasn't ready, so I had to wait an additional 20 minutes. Unfortunately, none of our guests ate them as they were very dry. The worst part was the fries, which were very bad and not crispy. I spent almost $200 on this, and nobody liked it. I will definitely go with another catering option next time. read more

As a shawarma snob, this place is the real deal. The beef and chicken shawarmas are off the hook. The fattoush is fantastic. The toum and tahini are on point. Fries are yummy (I'd prefer them without the spices, but still good). I'm probably going to order from here every day. Menu is small but PERFECT. Don't change (or close!) please! read more

Food: We started with the Batata Harra, which was described as "Fried Potatoes Tossed In An Irresistible Fragrant Peppers & Spices", what we got was cubed fries with not much seasoning, that started the disappointment which became much worse when we got our mains. I got the chicken kebab, which was $24 for 5 small chicken pieces, rice, and a salad FLOODED with dressing. I was disappointed with the small portion size of chicken and the pool of dressing on the salad which leaked to the rest of my food as I ate. My girlfriend got the Lobster and Prawn Risotto and for $39 we were extremely disappointed. We got 2 prawns and a little bit of lobster, for $39 I expected more than that, and it was the worst thing I've ever tried at a restaurant. Didn't try the desserts since the food wasn't good so can't say much on that, but they looked overpriced. Service: For a restaurant charging this much for food, you expect good service. The appetizer was delivered with my food, and then my girlfriends food came out 5 minutes later. The appetizer was warm so I assume she didn't realize it was ready and then when my food was ready it was just brought out together. When we started eating our food we finished our water, the waitress did not ask us if we enjoyed our food or app, just quickly grabbed the water and replaced it without saying a word. If a restaurant is charging this much I expect better service than that. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is probably better during the nightlife, seems they have a dj booth. I gave it 3 stars because when we walked in it smelt kind of weird (not from the hookah), and they were playing MSNBC on both TVs.
